Fergie

I know some people won't miss him but I think it's a sad day for football. A true great of the game.

Was he the greatest ever? Not too sure personally, two European cups isn't enough at a club like Utd imo.

Moyes looks odds on to replace him. Seems like a daft move if you ask me but I'm guessing it's Fergies choice. If the story's true about him recommending McLeish to Fawaz he's obviously not great at judging his fellow managers. Especially when they could get Mourinho.


Another club making another daft managerial appointment if you ask me. Jose has won two European cups at two different clubs and his teams are the top points scorers in England, Spain and Portugal.

Moyes has done a pretty good job at Everton

I suspect that the surprise announcement of Fergie's retirement is so that Man U can move quickly on Mourinho before he goes to Chelsea and becomes unavailable for a number of years.
It is also not impossible that Mourinho has been bigging up the connection with Chelsea to provoke such a move.

We beat the best that Europe could through at us.... You could say that the league in 1972 and 74? was it was not as good as it is today.

But YOU still had to win it to be top dogs.

Vidal = obsessed with trying to finda reason why we were so successful and his Derby team wasn't.

The reason we were so good was that we had your ex manager. I saw us play Ajax, Liverpool, Cologne and Barcelona (Super Cup). Four of the best in Europe at the time. Just because the finals were Malmo and Hamburg (who were a good team) doesn't mean it was a mickey mouse cup. You are just jealous that you only made the semi finals

Glad to see you still care about our past though and how it bites and grinds into your skin that we were top of our game.

Two stars on me shirt and Derby are still without one

So because we beat Hamburg and Malmo in finals it wasnt that remarkable?

Yes that's just what I said

You're right, there's no comparison and that's my point. Moyes hasn't had the chance to mamage a team with lots of money and Mourinho hasn't managed a poor team. Every team he has managed has been the richest in that league. His achievements are amazing but it doesn't take away from Moyes' achievements.

Aah, calm down Webbo, you're getting as furious as sutton.

Incidentally, I noticed Man City have three stars on their shirt, for their three League titles. I honestly don't know whether any other teams routinely have stars on their shirts. I would have thought that when playing domestically it makes more sense to celebrate the League titles in this way, in which case we would have two, and Forest one of course, one to be proud of. When you're next in the Champions League you can flourish your two stars, as its the nearest thing we have to the old knockout Cup that there used to be, and when we are next in it, we won't have any.

Vidal - surely if we're playing in the Championship then we should have stars for the number of times we have won that league. Going by your point what relevance do our league titles have to us when playing in the league below? And also I'm not sure there would be room to fit all the stars on the shirts of Utd and Liverpool's shirts.

I guess. I think it's all a bit daft really. I blame Webbo for bringing it up. DO Forest have two stars on their shirts, by the way? I don't actually know.
